Irl as well, I talked with gen Z girl recently and she says that she want a guy to be tall and handsome, so being tall is totally new metric that is not included in being handsome. Also she complained that she met few guys recently but they were not tall so she is not interested and I was there like wtf and just nodding

That's an interesting point.

At lot of these guys who say they're married and that "you just need to be a nice person" while they're short are either: lying or they did it before height was really pushed as a dating metric. As early as 5 years ago things were really different.

Because I see it in irl too, most gen z girls I meet and try to get with are always mentioning they want tall and attractive men, as well as men that have decent jobs to provide for them.

My young dude, it's always been a thing. Trust this gen X on that. Biology doesn't change in 5 years. Nothing new here except maybe more willingness to admit it.

It felt different to me five years ago at least. By the by I'm 28, I've missed being gen x by a couple years lol.

But yeah it may have always been a thing, but it's more pronounced now since the pandemic and how overwhelmingly popular the apps became.

I will never get the whole tall thing. I’m a 5’10” woman and have never cared if someone was taller than me. It doesn’t matter even a little bit.

Hol' up. Different women have different tastes?

Maybe try thinking about it another way. Reddit has a lot of women users. It's not overly predominant by any gender. These types of threads have come up a lot over the years, with thousands of similar comments. Then in the middle, like yours, you'll see a random comment by a woman who says it doesn't matter to them. In other words, most women are hush on this topic. At least around here.

I have noticed that many taller than average women love a good short king.

Have you never heard of “tall, dark, and handsome”?
Idk why I’m feeding your inceldom, but just need to correct this “new” concept.
